magnetic graphics from mini-stuff.com

Does anyone have the magnetic graphics from mini-stuff.com?
They have numbers, bonnet, boot and side stripes.
Sounds like it is better than vinyl stripes for me. I dont have to find anyone
to install in for me and I can take it or put it back anytiime I want.
But will it stick to the car as firm as vinyl?
Will it fly off easily? Any experience?

Do a search to find lots of info.

But, in leiu of that. They will discolor your paint if any moisture gets trapped underneath...Apply them only to a completely dry surface, and if it rains it is a good idea to remove them and let the surfaces dry completely

They won't fly off easliy if they're flexible enough. And theft is probably not a concern as it is not something most thieves look for.

Actually, now that I am finally able to visualized checkerboard bonnet stripes on a MINI, maybe the thieve did Yucca a favor.

You have to be very careful with magnets. They will scratch your paint.

I was thinking about the magnetic graphics too, I decided to just go and get the Frosted Vinyl Side Flames instead. Quite happy with them.
